You may have been training for a long time now, so you will expect big obstacles along the way, you could say they are all “part of the journey”.

So instead of folding like a pack of cards, you will have picked yourself up each time, and become more resilient along the way. 

You almost expect to overcome now, or you should have the confidence to do so.

Overcoming injury for example can be highly draining, not only for your body but definitely for your mind. The journey from real sharp pain to no pain and full movement can be a difficult mountain to climb on its own.

The strategy of putting one foot in front of the other, however hard that may be at times, will overcome anything. And with every step comes one more level of confidence and encouragement that you can take on the next step.

You should know the roadmap to success by now, you know its not always going to be easy and likely to be very tough at times, but showing up and movement forward will get through any challenge, overcome any obstacle and get you really where you want and need to be.

The “get ahead” method in the week can be straightforward, but not always so easy to implement.

Getting your workouts done this week has been difficult due to the bank holiday and the weather, but short workouts can keep you ion the flow, physically and mentally.

We were surprisingly busy today even with the heat but we understand those who didn’t make it, as the heat was at times draining to say the least.

The weather sounds as if it clears tomorrow, so it will offer ample opportunity to feel yourself again, get up to speed with the brand new programme and generally energise you.

You know too when you exercise, you are much more likely to eat well too, and with that you are likely to sleep better too.

I’ve been still doing early morning online workouts, even if they are shorter than normal but are still worthwhile.

I’ve still been on my bike up and down the gym. I feel as I’m always getting ahead of things when I do that four times a day.

After the bank holiday, putting great food into my body has been a priority, no additives, no sauces, no pre made food or drink, remember if its man made then its probably not good for you.

Your routines can make you or break you, time to get back into it and finish the week off strong!!

OLD battles need to stay in the past.

People who tried to stop you, discourage you, put you off, talk you out of, need to stay where they belong, in the past.

We all become different people based on our experiences.

When we battle to overcome, to get better, when we persevere when it would be easier to quit, that is exactly when we become more confident, we believe in ourselves more and our ability to see things through.

We have more victories when keep getting up every day and having a go, we keep trying even on the days when we have our biggest doubts and the “keep trying” habit becomes exactly that-a great habit that we do again and again.

When we keep trying and it becomes NATURAL and second nature, we have much more victories than losses. 

Forget about the old battles, the people who let you down or dismissed you, live in the now and create a better future from your daily positive actions.

Great habits are can be great but WORTHLESS  if you don’t put them into practice.

You know you need to do your workouts at least 3 times a week, are you the one who puts that into practice, or skips them more often than you would admit.

An ever increasing amount of evidence says that ultra processed food can severely impact our lives over time if it becomes what we NORMALLY eat. For all our good intentions and having a good meal now and again, are we normally eating good health food from scratch every day or is a good healthy meal something that happens “now and again”?!!

It is said that bad and inconsistent sleep can be deeply harmful for our health over time. Are we staying up late because we become addicted to the latest tv show, or we like to have a drink most nights, or do we stay up because “that’s what everyone we know does”. 

If we don’t get to bed at a decent time, our next day’s energy is compromised, we become more irritable and we tend to avoid doing much with our days as we are always tired..

Every sleep study in history says exercising HELPS sleep enormously.

Join the dots, add two plus two and make the connection, great habits MAKE US into who we are and elevate us into who we could be, bad habits break us eventually and stop us living a life that we could live, leaving us unsatisfied and feeling there should be so much more to life.
